Asperger’s on Arthur

I recently joined a Yahoo group for Moms of Asperger Girls. One of the mothers who posts is a blogger named Misty and I just saw this video on her website. I don’t know when it came out? Somehow it slipped past my radar.

Of course I looked it up to view the whole episode, and I am sitting here teary, in a heap of tissues. I don’t know. It just really touches me someone cared enough to research, and write this episode and others cared enough to put it together. It is sometimes easy to believe the world at large doesn’t give a damn about our kids. Disrespectful pediatricians, insurance companies that won’t cover anything, school districts that don’t get it, the list goes on and on.

For people to go out of their way to teach other children about kids with Asperger’s and what they go through. Well, it’s just…hand me another tissue please.

I heard last night that one of the kids on the new show Parenthood has Asperger’s. I haven’t seen it, and it would take me a while to tell you what network, time, etc, but I’m sure your smart fellow blog followers will know.

Thank you so much for sharing this. My dh just watched it with me – it is a good start for awareness.
